Rapid Prototypes or 3D Printing

If your building a proof of concept rapid prototype or 3D printed a gift for someone, understanding the differences between 3D print resolutions has a lot to do with the quality of the finished product. In the photo, the extrusion was ran at 0.30 mm Prototype and the frog at 0.15 mm Quality.

Most manufacturers or designers ordering rapid prototypes are just using the product to verify fit and aesthetics. Being able to physically handle the part, affords the opportunity to make revisions before ordering expensive tooling. In this case a resolution of 0.30 mm Prototype is the right choice.

When making a print as the finished product, like the frog, a higher resolution will yield a cleaner or crisper finished look.
